A Silver-Germanium Liquid Alloy Ion Source (LAIS) was developed and is available. Good beam performance was obtained for application in any commercial focused ion beam (FIB) system. Emission current dependent measurements were carried out of the mass spectra and energy spreads of all ion components. The ratios of doubly- and single- charged clusters to single-charged monomer ions were determined.
The AgGe-LMAIS can be very helpful for controlled formation of silver quantum wires.
